What would be the best way to pull up an old basketball goal post? It’s set in concrete, and cut off at the ground next to our driveway. I want to pull it out but not sure what’s the best way to get it done. I’m open to ideas.

YouTube “concrete post puller”

i know someone who does this
send me your address & I will get them to come take a look for you

Chain, tire/wheel and a truck will do it easily.

Home Depot’s have electric jack hammering tools for rent - it is some work tandem zero fun.

Chip far enough around it . Cut it off . Then patch

I had to dig one up one time. Was not fun. An excavator would have been nice.

It’s cut off at the ground now, just want to completely pull it out.

You can rent a mini-excavator. Dig around it. Put a chain / strap around it. Lift up with the excavator. Fill hole with dirt.

We have one of those too right off the driveway, just the pole and they filled the damn thing with concrete. I made some straps out of gasket clamps and the Wife hangs flower pots from it.

Slow as you go with a hammer drill or rent a jack hammer.

Jack hammer would be the faster option. Once the concrete is busted up. It shouldn't be too difficult pulling it out.


Cheapest way, bust the concrete with a post hole digger. The huge heavy bar looking thing. What you use when busting up rock as installing a fence.

I’ve seen people do this to remove a tree stump, not a bad idea.

How bigs the concrete,sounds like a dirty 30 and a sharpshooter job

That's the name, "Sharpshooter". You'd think as much as Dad had me slinging one. I'd remember the name.
